The all-new electronic limited slip differential, Ultra Posi is designed for front and rear-wheel drive vehicles, performs comparably to four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive systems and provides up to a 10% savings in fuel economy, Eaton says. —Chris Ostrander, vice president and general manager - Eaton Torque Controls.
Eaton announced it is contributing several components to truck manufacturers participating in the U.S. Eaton is supplying a number of leading-edge technologies that improve fuel economy and reduce emissions to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) teams. Department of Energy’s (DOE) SuperTruck II program. Earlier post.).
Future advanced engine and powertrain configurations must address emission and fuel economy requirements for worldwide applications, transition to bio-fuels, and synergies with future powertrain trends. improvement in fuel economy over the baseline engine for the Metro-Highway (M-H) cycle. improvement in fuel economy over the baseline.
Researchers from Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and Eaton have demonstrated the application of downspeeding and supercharging a diesel vehicle, in conjunction with optimizing transmission gear ratios and the shift schedule, to deliver a greater improvement in fuel economy than a downsped and turbocharged configuration.
Eaton has announced its newest supercharger—TVS2—which improves vehicle manufacturers’ ability to deliver an optimal single boosted application, or to pair this device with other boosting technologies in order to deliver compound boosting solutions for improved engine performance—a combined supercharger-turbocharger system.
A new white paper published by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), in collaboration with Eaton, Ricardo, JCI, BorgWarner, Honeywell, and the ITB Group, analyzes current turbocharged, downsized gasoline engine technology developments and trends. Source: ICCT. Click to enlarge.
The new engine will achieve high efficiency using the Atkinson Cycle with an 18:1 compression ratio, combined with aggressive engine downsizing. The engine will include new technologies developed by Envera and Tier-1 supplier Eaton. Eaton will provide a new advanced supercharger and variable valve actuation (VVA) technology.
Major automotive suppliers see national fuel economy standards as important for long-term planning and investment and don’t want to see them altered by US policymakers, according to a first-of-its-kind industry survey commissioned by CALSTART and conducted by Ricardo Energy & Environment.
Downspeeding and supercharging while optimising the transmission; or downspeeding and turbocharging – which can offer the greatest fuel economy improvement? The Southwest Research Institute and Eaton examined the issue. They showed that supercharging with downsizing can offer fuel economy gains by around 12.2
The Freightliner SuperTruck uses a downsized and downsped 10.7-liter This reduces friction, and increases efficiency and fuel economy.
